  • Behavior of a compliant wave-current barrier

    Creator:
    Kerper, Dale R.
    Abstract:
    This study includes an analytical solution to the wave-current barrier interaction problem and large scale experiments to validate the theory. The boundary value problem is solved mathematically by characterizing the flow field and barrier motion separately, then coupling the relationships with the appropriate kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions. The flow...

  • An efficient high-performance computing based three-dimensional numerical wave basin model for the design of fluid-structure interaction experiments

    Creator:
    Nimmala, Seshu B.
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is an interesting and challenging interdisciplinary area comprised of fields such as engineering- fluids/structures/solids, computational science, and mathematics. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the design of coastal infrastructure (such as bridges, levees) subjected to harsh environments from natural forces such as tsunamis, storm surges,...

  • Wave modeling at the mouth of the Columbia River

    Creator:
    Kassem, Sarah
    Abstract:
    As the second largest river in the U.S., the entrance to the Columbia River is home to some of the most extreme wave conditions on the Pacific Coast. Winter storms commonly generate waves 6-8 m in height, which in combination with strong tidal currents, can produce dangerous navigation conditions. To...
